A loyalist Astartes is brought before the Warmaster

Bro, I love the *_lore accurate deep voices_* you’ve done. Legitimately raises the passage’s impact by several magnitudes. That’s how it’s should be in the audiobooks.

[@jeffk862]

Im with you, 7 foot tall 700 pound transhumans should sound like the biggest guy you ever met in your life, not your average 6 foot 200 lb guy

[@Blind_Smithy]

I disagree for some of them sure but if you listen to any of the WSM not all have very deep voices. So i dont think that would hold true for marines especially marines of chapters like Thousand Sons, Emperors Children and Blood Angels. They were never super intimidating lot. More striking awe from their disarming vocabulary or blessed looks.

I prefer to see it as a faux-soothing gesture. Like he's helping the marine pass on, but not out of any sort of genuine kindness or mercy, but as a way to humiliate him in his final moments.

He'd be wrong, then. Space Marines were absolutely meant to be tools used to protect humanity, that's why they were designed to be unable to reproduce on their own.

@@mistersmith2549 Thats the point, he sees the current embodiment as wrong. Their true purpose in his eyes was to be lords and angels of humanity, the best of humanity elevated to immortality to lord over the weak. What Horus was originally on about and lost sight of as he surrendered to Chaos. The whole point of Abaddon doing his own thing is to simply accept Chaos exists and change operating procedures accordingly rather than worshipping it or embodying it like Horus or Lorgar; in addition, seating the Astartes as humanity's highest social class/caste rather than delegating them to tools for civilian leadership. Plus he's not a primarch, he's one of the Astartes so it's more about bros before hoes and less about ascension.

"Once, we were angels. Not outside Imperial law. Above it. Not the defenders of humanity. The lords of it."

A natural perspective for normal mortals to have, given the gulf between them and their protectors, but a flawed one nonetheless. The responsibility, the duty even, of those in possession of strength is to aid and protect those without it, not to exploit others for personal gain.

I can tell this guy hasn't read shit about the black crusades. Actual tourist

[@artikreven]

​@copyrightviolators I mean to be honest he was in a 1 v everybody. Eldar were there, Necrons were there, even orks somehow got there, the word bearers were also against him and even some of his chaos lords (that died on Cadia) were planning against him. The fact that he somehow even landed with so many enemies and so many loyal chapters is impressive. Also, I'm pretty sure he blew Cadia because the Necrons were about to close the eye of terror so yeah, Abbadon is cool. Sadly the way GW portrays him is not however.

Damm, power armors need a self destruction mode. Imagine going on your evil monologue and a nuke blows up in your face

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

The Chaosmarines is equally equipped with Powerarmour.

[@krisztiansturm1690]

@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen still, a nuke is a nuke. Even if it doesn't kill him it will 100% damage him

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

@@krisztiansturm1690 agreed, but then you have to factor the insane danger of nuclear accidents into all powerarmoured combat. These suits were designed to be safe and durable in extreme combat conditions. A bomb-able powerplant would be way to dangerous.

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

@@krisztiansturm1690 and my point was that In that scenario Chaosmarines would be just as able to revenge-nuke loyalists marines.

The request to khayon at the end to bind the daemon to the captains body shows abaddons malice and respect to the loyalists

[@Cyrus-rodn45]

That's more like torture

[@titanomachy2217]

Is the space marine captain's soul supposed to be still cognizant of what is going on even after being devoured by a daemon? Or does your soul being devoured by a daemon mean you no longer exist? Does his body just become an empty husk for the daemon alone to pilot or is the space marine's soul trapped inside of the daemon and still aware of what is being done with his corpse?

[@CeeJay94]

@@titanomachy2217 vaguely remember it being a slow process having a daemon devour your soul in the 40K universe

[@Makorze]

I'm pretty sure Abaddon had Khayon bind the daemon because Abaddon released the Loyalist into the sea of souls and the daemon ruined that. (Abby did the same for Sigismund. He made sure this body was clean and free of any taint from his claws before he sent it back to the Black Templars.) For clarity. Despite how it looks most true beings of the warp HATE things like the Secondborn (or Possessed Marines) because it blends the souls of both human and daemon together so that they are neither of the things it once were. In the material universe, they are unholy monsters of terrible power however the neverborn see it as a dilution of their very essence. Ofc their are rare exceptions where both souls combine and become truely one but this is very rare.

I really wish we saw more of this from Abaddon instead of him being this coward that gets beaten by major characters and teleports away before the final blow, this happens more than once and I feel like this was the only time we’ve seen how much Abaddon was a menace after the Horus Heresy.

[@ericnoel8294]

Dude dying is one thing but automatically having your soul devoured after? Fuck that
